Security Patches
InfoSec
Regardless of which Operating System you run, it is important to keep up with the critical updates to keep your machines as safe as possible
- Realize that by the time a critical bug has been reported, verified, patched and delivered to your distribution of choice, a significant amount of time has passed...
- From the first day the bug has been discovered [zero day] to the day you patch your computing machine, you've had a vunurable open machine in that one respect.
- Keep the amount of time between the availability, of patches & the update of your machines, especially your VMs (Qemu et al) & physical servers as short as possible
- Make sure to always use manual updates on your server VM's!
- I shall not explain why, start reading on Wikipedia and furthe, the explanation is too long for this short post
Notes:
- every OS can have vunurabilities
- Security in obscurity does not work!
- you are not secure because you run obsolete AmigaOS QNX or cool and niche *BSD as an OS
- buffer overflows hide everywhere
- I reguraly find them!
